Do you have a general question on expatriation? FAQs give you answers to the most frequent questions: Healthcare.

What are the European E-forms for healthcare?

E Forms are standardised forms used throughout the European Union, European Economic Area (Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein) and Switzerland to speed up the process of claiming social security benefits when you go abroad. They do not apply to other European countries. You obtain the forms from the social security institution of the country where you are insured before you travel abroad. If you are an employee, some E Forms must be applied for by your employer.

The European Health Insurance Card replaces forms:

  • E110 used by international road transporters,

  • E128 used by students and people working in a Member State other than their own,

  • E119 used by people registered as unemployed and seeking work in another Member State.

  • Every Member State is responsible for the distribution of the European Health Insurance Card to its citizens. However, the model of this card is identical and has the same technical specifications in all the Member States, which enables health care providers in every Member State to identify the card immediately.

    Every Member State is free to either integrate the technical specifications of the new card within its national card, or to distribute a separate card.
